House Bill No. 3469 proposes an amendment to the Occupations Code, specifically adding Section 1951.060, which exempts certain activities related to the control of nuisance birds from regulation as a structural pest control service. The bill allows individuals to perform, offer, or advertise for compensation activities that control nuisance birds using laser lights, noise-emitting devices, or recorded sounds, provided these methods comply with local noise ordinances.

However, the bill explicitly states that it does not permit the use of devices that kill, harm, trap, or collect live nuisance birds, nor does it allow the use of chemicals, explosives, or any devices that exceed local noise regulations. Additionally, activities that pose risks to people, animals, property, or the environment are also excluded from this exemption. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if such a vote is not achieved.
